Frequent extreme climate events and rapid global urbanization have amplified the occurrence of accidents such as waterlogging or the overflow of pollution in big cities. This has increased the application scenarios of large-sized deep drainage tunnel projects (LSDDTPs). The scientific and accurate evaluation of the construction safety risks of LSDDTP can effectively reduce the corresponding economic losses and casualties. In this paper, we employed the hierarchical holographic model to construct the safety risk list of LSDDTPs in terms of the risk source and construction unit. Based on social network analysis, we then screened key indicators and calculated the weights of all secondary indicators from the correlation between risk factors. We subsequently developed a construction safety risk assessment model of LSDDTPs based on the matter-element extension method. The Donghu Deep Tunnel Project in Wuhan, China, was selected as a case study for the proposed method. The results of empirical research demonstrated that eight indicators (e.g., failure to effectively detect the change of the surrounding environment of the tunnel project) were key factors affecting the construction safety risk of IV, which is within the acceptable risk level. Our proposed model outperformed other methods (the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, analytic hierarchy process, entropy weight method, and comprehensive weight method) in terms of scientific validity and research advancements.

The health, safety, and environment (HSE) risk assessment of major sewage transport tunnel projects (MSTTPs) is of great significance to guarantee sewage treatment, ecological environment protection, and sustainable development. To accurately evaluate the HSE risk of MSTTPs at the construction stage and effectively deal with their randomness and ambiguity, a risk assessment model based on the structural entropy weight method (SEWM) and the cloud model is put forward in this paper. First, an index system for MSTTPs was constructed via a literature review and expert interviews, and the rough sets method was used to filter the indicators. Then, weights were calculated by the SEWM, which is able to consider both subjective and objective factors of the weight calculation. Finally, to clarify the randomness and ambiguity in the evaluation, the HSE risk level was determined by the cloud similarity. The model was applied to the Donghu Deep Tunnel Project in Wuhan, China, and the results demonstrated that its HSE risk level was medium, which was acceptable. The index related to construction safety had the largest weight. A humid environment, improper power utilization, and sludge and mud pollution were found to be the most influential risk indicators. The risk level could be intuitively and qualitatively judged by the figure evaluation cloud, providing a vivid and rapid evaluation tool for the emergency decision-making of project managers, and the risk level could be quantitatively judged by the calculation of cloud similarity. Moreover, through the comparison with gray correlation degree, set pair analysis, and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method evaluation results, we prove the scientificity and effectiveness of the proposed model. The research results provide a valuable reference for the project management of MSTTPs at the construction stage.

The quality of road and bridge engineering is directly related to the safety of the transportation industry. In the construction of highway bridges, it is particularly important to strictly control the construction quality. Combining the analytic hierarchy process and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, the AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to obtain the current road bridge construction safety risk level. According to the different risk levels, effective measures should be taken to avoid unsafe accidents. On this basis, historical risk cases can be analyzed to find problems in the safety assessment of highways and bridges, and effective construction safety management and control measures can be put forward to ensure the vigorous development of my country’s highway and bridge industry.

This paper proposes a new risk assessment model on account of the fuzziness and uncertainty of risk factors in the reservoir after earthquake. The paper adopts methods of information entropy and fuzzy mathematics to assess risk level of the model. After analyzing the statistical data of earthquake-damaged reservoirs, we present comprehensive weight composed of importance and improved entropy weight. Base on comprehensive weight, we can adopt membership function to establish single factor evaluation of the model. Moreover, we combine fuzzy weighting method to assess risk level of a reservoir after earthquake. The result shows that risk level of the reservoir is high-risk. The case study verifies the practicability and rationality of the risk assessment method. Therefore, the method could be applied in the emergency rescue and reinforcement for reservoir after earthquake.

Risk decision matrix has widely been favoured by the researchers in the area of construction safety risk assessment. Although it provides the construction safety professionals with the final illustration of the risks magnitude, it suffers from major shortcomings, including inability to considering the importance of probability and severity, impaired analysis resulting from the use of raw numbers for ratings, and the limited range of classifications for assessing the risks. All these shortages give an impaired insight to the concerned parties, deteriorating the involved workers’ safety. As such, this paper aims to develop a novel Risk Assessment Model (RAM) through the integration of the Fuzzy Best Worst Method (FBWM) with the Interval-Valued Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (IVFTOPSIS). Based on the application of RAM to a real-life case study, it was observed that the developed RAM contributes to the body of construction safety risk assessment in five unique ways: (1) computing the importance of the two risk parameters (i.e. probability and severity) using fuzzy-reference-based comparisons, (2) obviating the needs for having statistical data, (3) prioritizing the identified risks using the combination of interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers with TOPSIS, (4) providing the safety analysts with wider ranges of classifications for conducting risk assessment, and (5) providing the safety professionals with appropriate evaluation strategies for controlling the analysed risks. The developed model in the study can be applied to any projects, giving a conclusive plan to the concerned safety professionals for adopting the further prudent mitigation measurements.

With the development of society, there are more and more existing building renovation projects. According to the common construction safety problems, and based on the characteristics of the construction process of renovation project, this paper established a construction safety risk assessment model of renovation project based on entropy-unascertained measure theory. Firstly, the assessment index system was determined by risk identification and analysis. Secondly, the unascertained measure theory was applied to the construction safety risk assessment of renovation project, and the weight of each index was determined by the entropy weight method. Finally, taking the actual renovation projects as examples to calculate its safety risk grade, it is found that the assessment results of the model are basically consistent with the actual situation of the site by comparison. The research shows that the model can provide a new idea to quantitatively assess the construction safety risk of renovation project and provide a reliable basis for the management and control of the construction safety of existing building renovation project.

Abstract With the continuous increase of tourism development and human disturbance, the functional structure distribution, sustainable utilization of resources and ecological benefits of nature reserves have been affected, and its ecological risk has increased significantly. This study proposes ecotourism development patterns for risk areas at each level, to provide a basis for stabilizing and promoting the ecological sustainable development of nature reserves. Yaoluoping National Nature Reserve in China is used as a study example. Based on GF-2 satellite data within the reserve area in 2017, ENVI, Fragstats and ArcGIS10.2 are used for land use classification as well as evaluation indicators selection and analysis. The ecotourism risk assessment model of the reserve is constructed, which is combined with the analytic hierarchy process and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The model consists of landscape ecology, topographic hydrology, land use and human activities factors, and it can produce the distribution map at the ecotourism risk level of the reserve. Results show that the high ecotourism risk areas in the reserve are mainly located around rivers and roads, and they are distributed in strips. Overall, the ecotourism risk level in the northern part of the reserve is higher than that in the southern part. Nearly 90% of the regional ecotourism risk is at the middle or low level, implying the reserve in a healthy level overall. However, except for low risk areas, the proportion of risk areas at all levels in the core zone is higher than that in the buffer zone.

Abstract Casing corrosion during CO2 injection or storage results in significant economic loss and increased production risks. Therefore, in this paper, a corroded casing risk assessment model based on analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is established to identify potential risks in time. First, the corrosion rate and residual strength characteristics are analyzed through corrosion tests and numerical simulations, respectively, to determine the risk factors that may lead to an accident. Then, an index system for corroded casing risk evaluation is established based on six important factors: temperature, CO2 partial pressure, flow velocity, corrosion radius, corrosion depth and wellhead pressure. Subsequently, the index weights are calculated via the analytic hierarchy process. Finally, the risk level of corroded casing is obtained via the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The corroded casing risk assessment model has been verified by a case well, which shows that the model is valuable and feasible. It provides an effective decision-making method for the risk evaluation of corroded casing in CO2 injection well, which is conductive to improve the wellbore operation efficiency.
